Digital smile design as a tool in the planning of porcelain laminate veneers restoration

Abstract

Digital smile design is an important tool for esthetic planning in dentistry as it facilitates ease of communication between professionals and patients. This clinical report has the objective of describing a clinical procedure involving digital smile design for the placement of porcelain laminate veneer restorations. The digital smile design included dental and facial analyzes. The smile curve was drawn and a dental ruler was used to delimitate the spaces between each tooth. An approximate simulation of the smile was generated using Adobe Photoshop software. For esthetic and functional evaluation of the digital plan was created a diagnostic waxing and mock-up. The laminate veneers were made with feldspathic porcelain. Digital smile design was essential for successful planning because it enabled better patient contact with the end result. This case demonstrates the importance of this tool in esthetic dentistry.

Facetas Diretas Em Resina Composta Utilizando O Fluxo Digital Para Planejamento: Relato De Caso

“…O planejamento digital não é algo completamente novo em Odontologia, já há relatos do uso de ferramentas digitais para planejamento digital do sorriso há algum tempo 13 . Porém, nos últimos anos a prática tem ganhado seguidores e usuários, principalmente no Brasil.…”

“…2). Subsequentemente, foi realizado o condicionamento ácido em esmalte com ácido fosfórico (35%) durante 15s nos dentes 13,12,11,21, 22 e 23 (UltraEtch, Ultradent, Indaiatuba, SP, Brasil). Na sequência, foi feita a lavagem com água durante 15s e a secagem com jatos de ar a uma distância padronizada de 15 cm.…”

Integrating digital smile design into restorative Dentistry: A narrative review of the applications and benefits

“…Patients may have high expectations after viewing the digital smile design, assuming that the outcome will perfectly match the virtual simulation. However, it is crucial to manage and align patient expectations with the limitations and possibilities of the actual treatment outcome ( Gontijo SM et al, 2021 ).…”

Digital Interactive Design and Robot-Assisted Preparation Experiment of Tooth Veneer Preparation: An in Vitro Proof-of-Concept

“…With the development of digital dentistry, various assisted prosthodontic systems have emerged in turn. S. M. L. Gontijo [13] proposed DSD (Digital smile design), which outlines the aesthetic information of the patient's teeth and face to help the surgeon analyze and design the treatment plan. It can show patients the effect of veneer restoration, but does not provide robotic trajectory planning for robot-assisted tooth preparation.…”
